I have just started with wordpress and want to start developing my own themes. I dont have reliable access to the internet so I want to make the wordpress documentation offline. What is the easiest way to do this? I cant seem to find any downloadable documentation. Is there a quick and easy way to make large parts of a website available offline?
Thanks
Andrew

If the site doesn’t offer such documentation to download in an archive (they often do), you can always use a “spider” tool (walking the web of page links from the page you target and downloading each related page, a bit like a search engine does) to download a (part of a) site.
For example I think wget is able to do that, or with GUI HTTrack is a good tool, with lot of parameters.
Warning: you have to carefully set the parameters to avoid, for example, to download a whole site (or even the whole Internet!) when all you want is a documentation.
Some sites also set guards against such spiders because they have limited bandwidth or monthly volume of served data, etc. You can set options to slow down downloading, resume a download, etc.
